KMFC and CFA Youth Football Report for 8/24 AND 8/25: Rankings (Pee Wees and Ponies), Players to Watch, Etc.

I've decided to take the youth football rankings down. I didn't realize the negative side to posting something like that and between a pennlive.com reader "janewymanwasright" and a parent of a kid who I talked to, I realize it's better to just talk about the kids and leave the rankings out of it.

I will personally be attending some youth football games in the near future. Most likely it will be during the playoffs. In the meantime..

"David Payton, yet again, was the core of this team!! Colts scored on
some breakaway plays and one special teams punt return, about 80 yards,
by Kyree Evans. Colts defensively crushed The Herd holding them to a
goose egg. The Herd could not go anywhere with the ball. But The Herd
held their own defensively and the Colts really could not move the ball
North/South. Casey Seeds, Reed Albright & Micah Parsons again led
the attack on defense. The Colts are showing they are now the team to
beat this year. They could very well go undefeated and are showing no
signs of slowing down. "

See, that's the kind of thing I like. Coaches and Parents, feel free to email me at paprepreport@gmail.com with game reports.

SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT to East Pennsboro's Pee Wee varsity team. They got their first win last weekend over Susquenita.

East Pennsboro Panthers (Pony) - Michael Jones - Running Back/Defensive End. Mr Jones ran for 95 yards on 9 carries and had 1 rushing touchdown. He also had 2 catches for 25 yards and 5 tackles. All of this came in a win against Susquenita last Sunday. Good job young fella!

Seven Sorrows Eagles (Midgets)Another one, straight from the "source" on their win against Juniata:

"It was a good game with the Eagles winning 26- 0. Our defense was able
to pitch a shutout. On offense the line blocked for 202 yards. Marcel
Santana had three catches for 85 yards and 1 touchdown. All touchdown passes were thrown by
Chase Snavely ( 4 of 7 passing for 147 yards_. Lastly, Nick Navarro rushed for 156 yards. We are undefeated so far but now its gonna get harder.
We are just trying to work harder."

SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT TO STUDENT-ATHLETE DEUCIE LEE from Linglestown

Now here's a kid who is a shining example of what a student-athlete should be. He's a 5th grader who plays for the Linglestown Colts (goes to North Side Elementary). The young man gets up early in the morning (catches a 6:45 A.M. bus) and goes to Linglestown Middle School to take a Pre-Algebra Math Class (7th grade math). On top of that, last year he came within 1 point of receiving A's for the entire school year. His other athletic activities last year included: football at Holy Name, Winter Basketball with United Sports, Spring AAU Basketball with the Central Penn Balleres, and Track and Field with Harrisburg Parks and Recreation. He also was in the band and choir for his school. As a matter of fact, he was selected for the band ensemble and will be in honors band.

Yes, I am sure that a good number of you have kids that are involved in other activities other than sports. I included this to make it known even though I'm known for promoting sports, I always stress that education is the key. Being involved with activities other than sports will make you a very well-rounded person.
